Despite this fact, it is not an exaggeration to claim that they have been devoted little focused attention compared to other factors such as motivation in or goals of LPP. Though the foundational paper of LMT published by B. H. Jernudd and J. V. Neustupný in 1987, entitled "Language planning: for whom?", was devoted to the issue of interests, this topic has not been taken up and elaborated upon even in this LPP research tradition. The aim of this symposium, therefore, is to focus on the themes of interests and power and discuss their role and use in language management.</p><h6><b>Call fo
r indivi
dual papers</b></h6><p>We invite proposals for papers which reflect any topic related to language management and particularly, the special focus of the symposium. Questions for discussion include (but are not limited to):</p><ul><li>types of personal or group interests involved in language management;</li><li>divergent/conflicting interests in language management;</li><li>masking, revealing and legitimizing interests in language management;</li><li>power, powerlessness and empowerment in asserting various kinds of interests;</li><li>power and interests in various phases of linguistic, communication and socio-cultural management;</li><li>power and interests in management of speaking in particular interactions;</li><li>sources of power (cultural, social, political, economic or others) that shape language management;</li><li>power to propose, formulate, defend, participate in or implement a language policy;</li><li>forming coalitions of actors in language management;</li>
<li>the
use and management of power to change/maintain language or communication;</li><li>ways of establishing or enforcing norms of language and communication</li></ul><h6><b>Abstract submission</b></h6><p>Abstracts (300-500 words) should be e-mailed to: <a href="mailto:symposium.interests-power@ur.de" target="_blank">symposium.interests-power@ur.<wbr>de</a> by <b>January 20, 2017</b>.</p><p>The abstracts will be evaluated by the scientific committee.

The second symposium addressing "norm diversity and language management in globalized settings" took place at Waseda University (Tokyo) in 2011. The third symposium held at Charles University (Prague) in 2013 focused on methodology used in the investigation of language management. In 2015, Sophia University (T
okyo) ho
sted the fourth symposium devoted to reconsidering 'the process' in language management. These symposia were closely connected with the conceptual tools of LMT in the vein of J. V. Neustupný and B. H. Jernudd. <span>Though the announced fifth symposium on interests and power follows up on this research tradition, it is also intended to open new horizons and thus welcomes incentives from other approaches in LPP as well.</span><br></p></div></div><div class="m_-7306881358842218396content m_-7306881358842218396clear-block"></div></div><div class="m_-7306881358842218396content m_-7306881358842218396clear-block"><div class="m_-7306881358842218396node"></div></div><u></u><div class="m_-7306881358842218396content m_-7306881358842218396clear-block"><div class="m_-7306881358842218396node"><div class="m_-7306881358842218396main-content-block"></div></div></div><u></u><div class="m_-7306881358842218396content m_-7306881358842218396clear-block"></div><div class="m_-7306881358842218396node"></div><div class="m_-7306881358842218396main-content-block"></div><br><br>
